operationally, riverfront would only become a spur if you extend north of the river on the heart of america bridge. as of today, it would simply be the northern terminus of a 7-mile (!) streetcar line.

However, it might be just another stop if a dedicated transit bridge is built with a NKC extension?

A dedicated bridge was $40 million in 2014.
A single track lane on the hoa bridge was $15-35 million

A connection to factory jobs in the east bottoms would be beneficial if the system is also expanded to more working class neighborhoods.

I didn't think about that, and you're right, that would be a good case for the casino not covering costs beyond its doorstep. I have a feeling it will just extend the spur to the doorstep of the casino, though. Which I hope happens btw.
